A.2. What activities were implemented as a result of this funding? Following sections of the report describes the activities translated onto ground as per the plan prepared before commencement of the program in Sandbox.
A.2.1 Staff Capacity Building: Success of a project of this nature lies in the team and the approach adopted in implementation of the activities by the team. Janakalyan took utmost care to build an efficient team within the available resources. A.2.1.1.Deputing key staffs from Janakalyan, identification of field staffs and building their capacities: Though, the project has a provision for only 2 staffs, we had to utilize the services of following team in order to make the project a grand success. The team constitutes following members from various disciplines as furnished in the table belowSl.

A.2.1.2 Capacity Building Training: All the team members are deputed from within the organization except Mr. Anant and later Mr. Nawabsaab which is an added advantage that Janakalyan had in implementing this new initiative. To have local feel, the field staff (Mr. Anant and later Mr. Nawabsaab) is identified from the local area. Team building did not take much time but orienting the team about the concept of retaining educated youths in agriculture by imbibing entrepreneurship with innovation was an important task.

A.2.2: Promotional activities to orient the farmers about the project concept in order to convince them to go for excavation of farm ponds: A series of promotional activities were planned to make the program popular among the farming communities and are dealt in the following sections of the report. A.2.2.1Printing awareness materials on the concept of the project and need of the hour; also door to door contact to orient about the project concept: About 5000 handbills in Kannada and 5000 handbill in English is printed on the project concept in addition to 5000 handbills on Janakalyan itself. The handbills have been distributed in the villages to orient the farming communities about the project concept. The soft copies of these handbills are annexed to this report in the publication section. A.2.2.2 Village level promotional campaign with potential farmers to finalize the list of farmers for the excavation of farm ponds: Introduction of a new concept which has direct impacts on the livelihoods of the farmers is an extremely difficult task, we have learnt in our previous experiences of 13 years in the livelihood sector. For us, this is a project intervention while for the farmers it is a matter of their livelihood, especially when they need to use their productive land for excavation of farm pond. It was not that easy task for the team to convince the farmers about the project in the beginning as it was expected. Several rounds of discussions and interactions for initial 2 months have finally helped us to make an entry in the minds of the farmers. Brief note on all such activities is felt necessary at this juncture. Village selection: Selection of the villages is equally important as that of the team building. It took more than 6 months to finalize the list of villages after several steps and lot of analysis (village selection started from November-December 2009). Interactions with villagers, farmers, opinion leaders, PRI members and also with the frontline government functionaries involved in implementation of NREGA. Finally, the team has finalized 4 villages from 4 Gram Panchayats from Gadag district. 1. Yavagal, 2. Hadali, 3. Surokod and 4.Khanapur. However, finally the farmers of Yavagal and Hadli participated in the project during the year.

Why these set of villages: A study team among the employees of Janakalyan was constituted to understand the present scenario and scope of work in each Gram Panchayat before selection of the villages. Gist of the report by the village selection team is presented below to state why these villages have been selected for operationi. The farmers have only 10-15% irrigation facility by LIS (lift irrigation scheme) from the Benne Halla that passes through these villages. ii. Almost no village has irrigation tanks to harvest rainwater that goes as waste during rainy season. iii. Single crop is being grown by the farmers due to acute shortage of irrigation water during the rainy season iv. Saline and alkaline soil exist in the farms surrounding the Bennehalla v. Ground water is brackish and cannot be used for irrigation in majority of cases vi. NREGA activities have mostly been to repair of connecting roads, internal roads, etc. vii. Almost none of the activities have been targeted to create productive agriculture assets such as irrigation tanks, connecting road for the farms, tree plantation, drainage of waterlogged land, flood control measures, etc. We found great scope for taking up all these activities in these villages to resolve issues to make agriculture profit-making. Therefore, the above villages have been selected for operation under the project. Agriculture scenario of these villages: The agriculture scenario of the villages before commencement of our intervention is stated below Most of the farmers are dependent on rain. Due to lack of technical information, farmers are growing mono-crop. Less than 1.5% land is covered by forest species and another 2% by trees & grooves thus increasing global warming. About 10-15% farmers have lift-irrigation systems and about 15-20% farmers get canal water for growing single crop per annum while others completely dependent on agriculture. Agriculture has become a loss-making enterprise and factors contributing to it being inadequate irrigation, land degradation, physical connectivity, less biomass availability, etc. NREGA funds have not been utilized for any agricultural interventions in last 4 years. Potential for taking up asset building activities under NREGA in these villages: Based on the study conducted by Janakalyan team, it is found that there is huge potential for taking up the activities proposed by Janakalyan under the following heads of NREGA1. Excavation of irrigation tanks in the farms to harvest water during the rainy season and using it during peak season for life-saving irrigation. 2. Plantation of trees to strengthen bunds and also generate biomass. 3. Potential for taking up drainage in waterlogged areas, saline and alkaline

land; similarly lot of investment required for land development activities such as bunding and silt removal from the land. 4. Connecting road to the farms from the villages need to be improved. Gram Sabha: Several rounds of gram sabha were conduced to understand the village as well as assessing the needs of the farmers. Gram Sabha is the strongest tool that we have made use of during implementation of these activities. The objective of garm sabha was to make the community aware about the provisions of NREGA which can be used to create productive assets to make agriculture profitmaking. The birds eye view of the gram sabha conducted during the reporting period is presented belowSl. No Village Date of Gram Participants in the gram sabha Name sabha Male Female SC ST Total 1.

Khanapur 17-05-2010 14 5 5 14 Janakalyan being new to these villages, it was difficult to ensure participation of women in these gram sabha. However, participation of all caste, creed and religion was ensured in these Gram Sabhas along with opinion leaders, elected representatives, farmers, labors, etc. Efforts are on to ensure equal participation of women in all the activities including decision making process. Process followed in conducting Gram Sabha: The schedule for gram sabha in all 4 villages was prepared in a staff meeting; accordingly, information was passed on to the volunteers and contact persons in each of these villages and announced about the date, time and venue of Gram Sabha in advance. The field staffs arrived in the villages and conducted the Gram Sabha in following order1. Welcome & Introduction of Janakalyan 2. Why Janakalyan has taken up this project with the support of Deshpande Foundation? 3. Salient features of water harvesting program and provisions of NREGA that could be made use to create productive agriculture assets. 4. How do we go ahead from here with the cooperation of villagers? 5. Gram sabha concludes with sharing of opinions followed by vote of tanks. Major issues raised in gram sabha: NREGA being of confrontation nature, as the PRI and government officers have vested interest in its implementation, the communities are seem to be skeptic about its implementation. Most of the issues raised during the gram sabha are in the periphery of it. Some of the important issues are listed below1. NREGA has a provision of Land Development activity and therefore bund strengthening activities shall be taken up under NREGA on priority basis. 2. Can jungle cutting be taken up in the lands of poor farmers under NREGA? 3. Irrigation canals have silt deposit and need to be widened and deepened with NREGA fund.
Page |8
4. Deepening and silt removal from existing irrigation tanks. 5. Farm pond is essential for all farmers while NREGA has a provision for SC/ST farmers only; how can others get benefit out of it? 6. Natural drainage course shall be cleaned, widened and deepened. 7. Salinity and alkalinity is common near the drainage canals subsurface and open drainage is must for most of the farmers. 8. Leveling of land for poor farmers need to be taken up under land development head of the NREGA. Important questions raised by the community: The major questions raised by the participants in the gram sabha are1. Out of 5-6 acres of land that we have, if we excavate an irrigation tank in 1 acre, would we not be loosing that piece of land? 2. The water harvested in irrigation tank would dry up in 2-3 months; how do we cultivate crops in summer then? 3. You are talking about fish cultivation but almost all the people in our villages do not eat fish regularly; where do we sell the fish? 4. Investing 50% is really difficult for small and marginal farmers, specially those who are economically backward though we need the irrigation tanks the most; are you only targeting rich farmers to make them richer? 5. You are advising for leveraging funds from NREGA, but NREGA provides funds for excavation of farm ponds for SC/ST communities only; how do we get the irrigation facilities? 6. Lift irrigation schemes are equally beneficial to our farmers; could you help us in laying lift irrigation schemes? 7. Everybody does not work efficiently during group work and thus the progress/ achievement is less under NREGA; Engineer does not make correct payment due to this problem: what is the way out? 8. PRI members & GP secretary uses machines to complete the works by paying little money to the job-card holders to draw money through our cards; what is the way out? 9. You said the wages would be paid in 15 days, while we have not received the wages for last 3 months; why? 10. We get more wages than NREGA if work outside; why should we work with you? 11. How do you take up drainage works? 12. The GP Secretary said that farm pond cannot be excavated in the land which comes in the command area of irrigation projects: what is the way out? 13. Many of us still do not have job cards; will you provide job cards to such people? 14. You have excavated many farm ponds / irrigation tanks using tractors; why cant you do it in similar ways in Gadag also? Why are you linking it with NREGA? Major problems encountered in conducting grama sabha: Typical problems faced in conducting gram sabha are1. Drunkards created problems is few gram sabha 2. PRI members sometime hijacked the discussions and tried to deviate from the topics. 3. Participation of Secretaries/PDOs remained as an issue though they expressed their wholehearted support during our discussions. 4. Confrontations between the PRI members and communities in some cases, when they speak out about the misappropriation of the PRI members in implementing NREGA works. 5. In most of the cases, PRI members suggested not to conduct any gram sabha instead they will provide whatever information we want. They will also provide

the list of farmers / labors to constitute AIG. The PRI members do not want to conduct gram sabha. Expectations of the communities from Janakalyan: Janakalyan has been working in the villages of Sindhanur and other taluks for last 13 years and is talk of the farmers today. The contribution of Janakalyan to the peasant communities is tremendous in their opinion and thus expects the following in future from Janakalyan 1. Addressing individual issues of each farmer related to farming. 2. Training to farmers to earn more profit from less investment. 3. Training on SRI, IFS and vegetable cultivation in their farms. 4. Translate whatever you are talking today it should not be simply discussed and left. 5. Ways to excavate farm ponds to farmers other than SC/ST. 6. Ensuring quality seeds, inputs and other necessary materials. Followed by the 1st set of gram sabha in the villages, many rounds of individual interactions and focused group discussions were conducted to orient about the concept and convince about its advantages. Inviting applications from interested farmers: Finally, applications from interested farmers were invited and received a good response; field staffs then visited all these Sl.

A.2.2.3.Learning cum exposure trip for the participating farmers The last activity in this series was a learning exposure trip for selected farmers of 3 villages organized on 11.6.2010 to Sindhanur taluk where Janakalyan has successfully demonstrated the package proposed for Malaprabha Tail end farmers. About 49 farmers participated from 3 villages and visited about 7 farms where the Intensified Integrated Farming System (IIFS) has been demonstrated successfully by Janakalyan. The farm of Smt. Sheela Intensified Integrated Farming System (IIFS) farm Sikdar at R H Colony No.3 and Sri Deepak Mondal of R H Colony No.2 were an Smt Sheela w/o Sudhanya Sikdar is a small farmer excellent experience for the visiting having 4 acre of land at tail end of TBP.

the Sindhanur farmers in their farms where they will also develop such models. The major learning from this exposure expressed by the farmer are The positioning of the tanks in the farm and method of excavation of tanks Various productive units of the tanks those can be taken up in the farm after harvesting rainwater The cooperation between farmers and Janakalyan in making the project successful and to improve economic status of the farmers The farmers also learnt about the major activities of Janakalyan in last 14 years as well as the aims and objectives of Janakalyan Questions: The important questions asked by the farmers during this exposure trip to the farmers and Janakalyan team were listed below How can tractor be used for excavation of irrigation tank? Is not JCB faster, economic and productive than tractor to excavate irrigation tank? Will you also provide a pump set to lift water from the irrigation tank for irrigating the crops? Where do you sell the fish? One needs to stay at farm in order to protect the vegetable crops from the grazing animals as well as thieves; is it not difficult? How to handle the excavated soil from the irrigation tank? Can we also grow paddy in our farms as that of you? Where do you get fish seedlings?

Farmer selection: From amongst the farmers visited Sindhanur and those who submitted all the required documents, a list of 33 interested farmers was identified. Since the excavation of farm ponds also depends upon a condition that those who can manage their share of contribution in excavating farm ponds would derive the benefits during this year. Therefore, only 2 (Ashok Udikeri & Basavaraj Nagalingappa) among these 33 interested farmers finally agreed and availed the benefits of the project by excavating an irrigation tank each. Remaining 8 farmers have shown interest only when they saw the benefits of an irrigation tank from these 2 farmers. Final list of 10 farmers is provided in the tank excavation section of the report.
Project Concept Orientation to the farmers of Gadag at Janakalyan A.2.3. Convergence Workshop at district level: This task was planned for 1st quarter of the project but due to unavailability of CEO, Zilla Panchayath, Gadag we could complete it on 12th October 2010. This important event was organized at ZP Meeting Hall in Mini Vidhana Soudha, Gadag; district level officers from Department of Forest, Agriculture, Fishery, Health, Education, Irrigation, Watershed and Horticulture along with Executive Officers of Ron & Naragund Taluk Panchayat attended this workshop. Chief Executive Officer Mr. Veeranna Turamari, IAS, Zilla Panchayath, Gadag chaired this meeting. On this great opportunity, a presentation was made by Sri Basavarajaiah Swami on JANAKALYAN, the project that is initiated with the support of Deshpande Foundation in Hadali, Yavagal and Surkod villages of Naragunda and Ron taluka in Gadag district. Brochures on the organization and project were presented to all the officers present in the workshop. Lot of discussions generated after the presentation between

the project team and development officers of the district; identified farmers from our project villages also participated in the workshop. Sri Veeranna Turamari, IAS, CEO of ZP appreciated the project that Janakalyan has taken up in collaboration with Deshpande Foundation and he advised all the district officers and EOs of Ron and Naragunda to collaborate with Janakalyan for successful implementation of the planned activities and provide necessary support wherever necessary. The CEO also suggested us to attend the Taluka level KDP meetings and share our views to all taluka level officers both at Naragunda and Ron so that convergence is achieved in true sense.
Gram Panchayath officers, PDOs, AAOs of RSKs, EOs and ZP officers, taluka officers of Horticulture, Agriculture, Watershed, CADA & Fishery Departments were present in the workshop; also the farmers interacted with all these officers after district level workshop and rquested for necessary support, for which departments have also shown positive interest towards farmers needs. Prior to the District Level workshop, we the team experienced lot of difficulties to get responses from the grass root functionaries; however, after this meet, all line departments cooperating to the project team for farmers needs. We could link 3 of our farmers with the department to set up vermicompost production units in their farms. A.2.4. Excavation of irrigation tank to harvest runoff and use for life-saving irrigation during peak season; promote fish cultivation in the farm-ponds and plant trees on the bunds of the farm ponds: Though, it was planned to complete excavation of tanks in the 2nd quarter but due to unavoidable circumstances and continuous rainfall we could complete excavation of all 10 tanks during the 3rd quarter only. Further, it is worth mentioning here that Janakalyan is proud for motivating the farmers for cost sharing to more than 50%. It is a historical achievement in itself by the Janakalyan team that it has moved from grant mode to cost sharing mode, that too in altogether different area. The list of farmers along with complete details about farm ponds, farmers contribution, and organizations investment is given in Annex-I.

Source of water: Utmost care has been taken by the project team to identify the farmer, assess the feasibility of the tank and also the location of the tanks in the farm considering catchment area and feeder channels so that it receives good amount of runoff during the rainy reason. The major criterion for selection was that the tank must have source to get canal water from Malaprabha irrigation project. Some of the farmers also get the water from nearby small streams/nala. In addition, some of the farmers have an opportunity to lift water from neighboring Bennehalla through the pump-set already installed in their farms. Out of the 10 tanks excavated under the project, 8 tanks have already filled with canal water through natural streams. It is clear from the table below that about 6.25 acre of excavated area is providing life-saving irrigation to 53.80 acres of land of 10 farmers.

Cost Sharing: The total cost of excavation of all 10 irrigation tanks has been Rs.7,44,003/- (Rupees Seven lakhs forty four thousand and three only), of which Rs.4,01,503/- (54%) is contributed by the farmers and the rest of the funds Rs.3,42,500/- (46%) has been invested by the project. It is to be noted here that our target was to mobilize only 40% of the total cost while we have succeeded to Volume IV: Final Report (April 2010 March 2011)

mobilize more than 54%, which itself is a great achievement for the Janakalyan team. In a new area with a new concept, we never expected that farmers would come forward to share in such a huge scale.
Tank Beautification: The farmers have planned to start fish cultivation and collected details about the fish seedlings while 1 among them has already released the seedlings in the tank. Some of them have grown fodder crop while others have grown fruit species on the tank bund for strengthening of bund.
More Crop Per Drop: Sri Mallappa Hadapad and Sri Shanmukhappa Mudenguddi have already filled their irrigation tanks by runoff and have decided to start fish and vegetable cultivation activities from immediate effect in Hadali village of Naragunda taluk; Sri Udikeri has already released fish seedlings in his irrigation tanks and growing vegetables in more than 1 acre of land with the tank water.

Water Budget: The concept of water budgeting was taught to the farmers; i.e. planning crops based on the availability of water from all sources during a crop period.
Natural Farming: The participating farmers have been trained on IIFS concept on 8th October 2010 by an expert in natural farming; Sri Sharanabasava, Director of

SPRED, Raichur was the resource person for the training. Farmers got highly motivated by his training and agreed to adopt LEISA technology, natural farming concept in IIFS in order to improve soil health on long term basis. Similarly to get continuous income and live a secured and self sufficient life and also to leave fertile land to the next generation, the farmers must learn judicious application of water and other inputs in agriculture, the farmers realized from this important training. The participating farmers also understood the methodology of preparing liquid and solid jeevamrutha (Ghanamrutha & Dravamrutha) and decided to prepare jeevamrutha for application in their vegetable cultivation. In addition, the farmers also learnt about the components of IIFS like fishery, fodder, animal husbandry, mixed cropping, inter-cropping, horticulture, plantation, vegetable, inclusion of forest species all along the tank bunds as well on the farm bunds from the training. The resource person also focused on local seed production, and importance of local cow breeds. He suggested, if we adopt natural farming, we can maintain the soil health, human health and we can utilize the lands properly and leave them in fertile condition for the next generation.
Technical Training to the farmers: Organized training on IIFS at KVK, Raichur on 24.9.2010 wherein 4 farmers and all project staffs participated to gain knowledge about the activities to be adopted with the irrigation tanks. This training mainly focused on IIFS, horticulture crops, animal husbandry, agriculture extension practices for rabi crops, fish cultivation, etc. Dr. A.R. Kurubar, Horticulture Specialist and Dr. B.K. Desai, Specialist for IFS and Mr. Mohanchandra Chawhan along with 3 professors from KVK and UAS, Racihur were involved as resource person during this training program.

On-farm technical support to the farmers to translate the farm-based activities in the field: It was only after the monsoon, we could complete all 10 tanks; however, fortunately the 5 tanks which were excavated by end of October were filled by an unexpected rain in November 2010. All 10 farmers were trained on IIFS activities and thus they could apply the learning as well as harvested water in their farms. Facilitated the process and thus the farmers have forest trees, fruit trees, flower plants, biomass generating species and grass species on the bunds of the tank, Some of them (those having water in the tank) started fishery, vegetable production, and vermicompost production. Thus, about 5 farmers already transplanted banana, mango, coconut, sapota, neem, guava trees on the bunds. About 2 farmers (Sri Ashok Udikeri and Sri Shivaputrappa Sannadani) transplanted grass species and one farmer started fishery activity during the season and 5 farmers prepared lands to start vegetable production during the season.

However, it is worth mentioning here that the last 2 tanks excavated during November-December could not harvest water and thus we failed to experiment post-tank activities during the year. We have already trained them but need to wait for next kharif crop to get these translated onto the field.
Though, the result of this activity could only bee seen after few more days (such as trees planted already, fishery released to the farm ponds, vegetable production started and other activities promoted). However, the farmers started consuming more vegetables than earlier which is a good signal for balanced nutrition and good health. Volume IV: Final Report (April 2010 March 2011)

The major difficulty was to find the nursery of required species for the bund strengthening; however, by the efforts of our team, finally got the nursery but of not required quality and quantity. Therefore, decided to promote 2 youths who would grow the nurseries of identified species for our farmers from the next year onward. Demonstration of benefits of the irrigation tanks: Out of 10 farm ponds excavated by the project, 8 could harvest water in an unexpected rain during November 2010. The farmers are trained on judicious utilization of water and thus they have initiated action for implementation of fishery, vermicompost, plantation, fodder, vegetable production, etc. Sri Ashok Udikeri has released fish seedlings to his irrigation tank in addition to vegetable cultivation and other regular cash crops in his farms.
The water harvested in these 8 tanks is being used to irrigate their standing crops; a penny saved is a penny earned and thus the amount saved which the farmer must have spent to lift the water from the Bennehalla to irrigate these crops, which they have saved by irrigating from the tank.

A.2.5 Reaching out the farming communities with the impact of the project interventions through direct interventions and also through the reports: In order to reach out to more number of deserving farmers through demonstrational effect, few activities like Field Day, Result Sharing Program, etc. are planned during the year. Some of these events are described in the following section of the report. A.2.5.1. Field Day celebration in the demonstration field: To demonstrate the results of our interventions, a Field Day was organized on 10.12.2010 in the farm of Sri Shivaputhrappa Sandinni wherein Sri C C Patil, the Minister for Child and Woman Development, GoK was the chief guest. All 10 participating farmers shared their experiences about the project to the potential farmers of Hadli, Surkod and Yavagal villages. Many distinguished Field Day Celebration in the farm of Sri Shivaputrappa Sannadani guests like Dr. S T Patil, Director, WALMI addressed the farmers regarding importance of water and its management in the presence of President, Vicepresident of GP, TP and members of ZP along with all frontline functionaries from departments of agriculture, horticulture, watershed and fishery. The members of Micro Entrepreneur s Clubs also Field Day Celebration in the farm of Sri Shivaputrappa Sannadani actively

participated in the event and shared their experiences. Sri Ravindranath Reddy, Program Officer, DF also addressed the farmers on this occasion. About 300 farmers from Hadli, Surkod and Yavagal participated in the day long event. Project beneficiaries shared their views and experiences about farm ponds concept and its benefits. The guests, department officers and PRI members addressed the farmers about effective use of water and adoption of natural, organic and other sustainable agriculture practices. Line departments shared the collaboration scope for implementation of various activities through linkage of existing government schemes. A.2.5.2. Result Sharing Program at the end of the project period to reach out more number of farmers: This program was organized on 29th March 2011 in the farm of Sri Ashok Udikeri at Yavagal, where more than 100 farmers from 21 proposed villages participated. Farmers who are interested in excavating an irrigation tank in subsequent years attended in Result Sharing Program. Basically it was a dialogue between old and new sets of farmers wherein the old farmers shared their experiences about the project and also the benefits that they have derived during this one year. Similarly, all the new farmers asked many questions to clarify all their doubts and apprehensions about the program.
We also shared that there would be only two sizes of tanks while the farmers were expecting still bigger tanks with investment more than a lakh rupees. We justified why we are not going for still bigger tanks; mainly because the investment is heavy and thus small farmers cannot go for the same. Moreover we just want to show the benefits of irrigation tank, if farmers want to go for bigger tank, they can later go mobilizing the funds from government schemes or through bank finance. Farmers expressed their happiness and thanks during the program both to Jankalyana and to Deshpande Foundation for the excellent and productive work that are being done in this part of the country. A.2.5.3. Quarterly Achievement Reports about the project outcomes: Whatever we do, it remains incomplete unless it is documented for wider benefits; Janakalyan gives utmost importance to documentation of the activities, problems and learning and in this case also we did not deviate from our practice. Other than monthly reports and documentation, we have also prepared 4 quarterly progress reports during the project period. Similarly, a half-yearly report was also submitted to

Give2Asia in the prescribed format in addition to 4 quarterly progress reports as per the DF format. Similarly, we have also documented 10 cases of all 10 participating farmers along with cases of the micro entrepreneurs. All these reports are annexed to this report for the ready reference of the readers. A.2.6. Ensuring Sustainability of the Project by creating entrepreneurs and bringing educated youths in agriculture value chain to make agriculture profit-making: Agriculture is primary source of livelihood and about 73% of the population in India is directly dependent on it for their survival. But a farmer having productive land also wishes that his child must be educated to become either doctor or engineer or a computer engineer and NOT a farmer, given a choice. If the farmer has more than a child, the brilliant child is put in service while the brainless one is put in agriculture by compulsion. Agriculture also requires intelligence to make it profit-making in order to feed 1.21 crore population of India. Through this intervention, Janakalyan is trying to bring in educated youths into agriculture sector by creating entrepreneurial opportunities in the agriculture value chain.
A.2.6.1 Creating a cadre of village level entrepreneurs through training and capacity building: We have organized youths from all the 3 project villages and formed 3 Micro Entrepreneurs Clubs (MEC). About 39 educated rural youths have been brought under the umbrella of 3 Micro Entrepreneurs clubs. Every group collected Rs.50/- per member as membership fee and resolved to save Rs.20 per Volume IV: Final Report (April 2010 March 2011)

The participants expressed this as an interesting intervention and further plans are decided in consultation with these youths. Questions: The important questions raised by the youths during the training are Would you provide any certificate to us once we complete the training with Janakalyan? Could anybody participate in the training or only the selected candidates would be able to participate in the training? Would you also provide any stipend? Would you take us to an exposure to learn more about the irrigation tanks and all the productive units of IIFS? The farmers do not listen to us even if we give them valid suggestions as we do not have practical experience; how do we go ahead?

Salient features of this training are as follows A total of 39 youths participated for all the 3 days EDP training on 9th, 10th and 11th October 2010 held at Janakalyan office, Naragunda. Since we adopted lot of exercise, games and participatory tools like, group discussion, presentation, more than 70% of youths participated actively and involved in almost all sessions. We observed the education level of many of the youths was very low; about 40% of youths were unable to read and write but they were very sharp and involved in discussions. Most of the participants expressed their views and expressed their interest in the first day of the training to start enterprises agro-based sector like dairy farming, vegetable cultivation, fishery-culture, horticulture, production of bio-fertilizers and medicinal plant extracts for pest management and nutrition management, etc. The training also focused on their expectations to build strong conviction and confidence to plan for their enterprises. About 10 youths decided to start fish culture along with vegetable cultivation immediately since they have assured water. About 10 youths decided to start animal husbandry, since they got human resources and other infrastructures; mobilizing funds from banks and additional support from the departments. About 5 youths decided to start producing the local plant extracts and market them with organic cultivators. They also want to produce vermicompost, jeevamrutha and Neem Seeds Kernel Extract (NSKE) and cakes of various husk and other agro-wastes. About 5 youths decided to produce scented sticks, papad, candles through the local SHG members and other local human resources with small initial investment. Based on the experience, they will decide whether to expand the business or otherwise. Another 9 youths have not decided any projects and plans at the end of the training and asked us to give 10 days time to declare their project and plan.

A.2.6.3 Setting up of self employment ventures: The youths are facilitated to develop their action plans to start enterprises by at least 10 youths. The team assisted the youths to meet bankers and various line departments for necessary convergence and other technical and financial support. Among 39 members, 10 had decided to go ahead as following 4 youths decided to build their career through seed entrepreneurship 2 through vegetable production/marketing enterprise 2 through horticulture & forest nursery production and marketing 2 through vermicompost production and marketing enterprise
To start their enterprises, project agreed to help them with technical training and small revolving fund through their Micro Entrepreneurs Clubs to establish their enterprise during next quarter. However, to have the stake of the entrepreneur as well as MEC, it is decided that the investment shall be shared such that MEC shall have 50%, the entrepreneur shall have 25% while project will share only 25% of the cost as seed money through the MEC. We asked each group to identify one-two members who can immediately take up these enterprises through 25:50:25 investments sharing by entrepreneur, MEC and project respectively. The fund provided by the project will be used to promote projects and it will be given to the members in the form of loan towards initial working capital and later it will be recovered in easy installments amongst the MEC members. The MEC decided to support 2-3 members by each group using their saving amount and revolving fund from the project and later mobilizing the bank loan through the MECs. Once they learn about coordination, money management, attitude, behavior and culture of all members so that other members can be linked to banks for their individual projects. Technical Trainings: The team facilitated MEC members to undergo different types of training to start their own enterprises. About 4 youths have been already trained in vegetable production and marketing, 6 in vermicompost production and marketing, 4 youths and a staff are trained on seed entrepreneurship at KVK, JSS, Suttur, Myosre on 28th and 29th December 2010. Similarly 4 youths have already been identified for the nursery raising techniques. The list of these trained entrepreneurs are furnished in the table below-

Village Haat: To provide immediate market to the vegetables produced by our farmers, it is decided that a person shall be trained in marketing of vegetables in their own village. Immediately, he shall purchase the vegetables and start selling in the village on daily basis in a fixed place so that the villagers come to know that the vegetables would be available in that place between fixed time of the day. This would also bring the changes in consumption level of vegetables than that of now. Later on, when the vegetables of our farmers are harvested can also be sold in the same place. With this objective, a youth has been supported by the project to start the village haat in Hadli village. Creation of first generation entrepreneurs from among the rural youths without ancestral experiences is really difficult but not impossible tasks. Though, we took little more than expected time to bring the youths on the track, we were sure of completing the tasks.
A.2.7. Measurement & Evaluation: Certain activities like baseline survey to set up the bench mark is carried out in the beginning of the project commencement while some other activities like demand generation is done at the end of the year for next year. These activities are dealt in this section of the report. A.2.7.1 Creating demand for next season for another 50 farmers: Though we are not sure about the grant for next financial year, with positive hopes and based on the discussions between us and DF, we have already completed the ground work identify 30-40 farmers for 2011-12 that to before July 2011. Action plan is already been prepared in consultation with farmers and project team. We have already displayed about 20 flex charts in 20 villages and more than 5000 handbills have been distributed in 21 villages of Ron (11) & Naragund (10) taluk. More than 100 applications have been sold out to the interested farmers.

Based on our learning from last year, we have designed the pamphlets providing all useful information and tried to provide all terms and conditions to involve very right and appropriate farmers from the proposed project villages. The roles of farmers and Janakalyan, both in financial and otherwise, are specifically mentioned in our pamphlets. The pamphlets also dealt about process and criteria for farmers selection for the year 2011-12. A.2.7.2 Baseline survey and setting bench-mark: Before finalizing the list of final beneficiaries, household level information was collected from all the farmers who have applied for participating in the program to set a baseline in the beginning of the project. The major outcomes of the household survey are About 30% of the land has irrigation facilities through IP sets while rest of the land is under rain fed condition. The major crops grown by these farmers are wheat, sorghum, green gram, sunflower, cotton, Bengal gram, ground nut, etc. Many of the farmers do not have cattle due to shortage of fodder; some of them have tractors. Almost every farmer has borrowed loan from banks but are not able to repay for long time. Almost 80% farmers have lost their crops in last 5 years either due to drought or flood. Each household has educated youths meaning educationally forward families but all of them are unemployed.
Socio-economic household survey of farmers by the JANAKALYAN team After documents review, conducting farm visits and getting opinions from the neighboring farmers, Janakalyan team visited each of these farms to understand the feasibility of the interventions. The final list of farmers who had complied with all the necessary terms and conditions are provided below. It is to be noted that not many of these farmers excavated their tanks due to delay in commencement of excavation.

The major outcomes of these farm visits are The small size of the irrigation tanks would store the water for relatively smaller duration; therefore it was decided that the small size tanks would be excavated with the farmers those who have irrigation pump (IP) sets so that the water can be lifted from the nearby streams and stored during the odd hours when electricity is being supplied by the HESCOM to irrigate the crops as per the convenience of the farmers and requirement of the crop cycle. The land surface is not level and thus would be difficult for irrigating the crops. After excavation of the irrigation tanks, the farmers would require to repair the field canals and put pipes in some cases to channelize water into the irrigation tanks. A.2.7.3 External Evaluation Exercise: Dr. Rajendra R Poddar, Professor & Head, Department of Agriculture Economics, Agriculture College, Bijapur agreed to conduct the external evaluation at the end of 1st year of project intervention and would be conducted after harvesting of the summer crops. A.2.8 Additional Activities: A.2.8.1 Farmers Day Celebration: Though it was not planned but was an important decision that the agriculture partners of DF took to celebrate farmers day on 23.12.2010 with Deshpande Foundation. The "Negila Chethana Program" celebrated at DF campus, Hubli on 23.12.2010 wherein about 48 farmers from our project villages participated in this program. Highly experienced progressive farmers were invited to have dialogue & share their experiences on agriculture, effective use of water, animal husbandry, horticulture and organic farming etc., during this event.
It was an important event where the farmers learnt lots from the experiences of renowned progressive farmers and clarify their doubts/queries about their occupation and its sustainability. We have put up our stall to share our project vision, learning

and our future plans with the participants and to seek their views and suggestions to proceed further. We were expecting more participants for this event but due to election process, it was difficult to mobilize more than 50 farmers for this event A.2.8.2 Development Dialogue 2011: Janakalyan participated in Development Dialogue2011 organized by Deshpande Foundation at Hubli on 27-29th January 2011.
This was an event where development practitioners, resource providers, academicians and community participated from many countries wherein Janakalyan and its farmers were also invited. In addition to the field staffs of Janakalyan and the governing board members also participated in this event. Dr. Veerendra Hegde of Dharmsthala Manjunath Sukshetra inaugurated the event on 27th January 2011 and addressed the community as keynote speaker wherein many prominent speakers were invited to deal with various developmental issues.

A.2.8.3 Community Mela: It was great opportunity to the farmers of Janakalyan to participate in the Community Mela organized as part of Development Dialogue 2010 on 29th January 2011 at Deshpande Foundation. About 17 farmers from our project villages i.e. from Hadali, Yaavagal and Surkod attended and benefitted from Development Dialogue Community Mela.
This was an opportunity through which the farmers could meet large number of development NGOs, people and could also to establish network with them. They could also learn from the experts and practitioners in agriculture and agro-based activities. In addition, they could also share their field realities, difficulties and present situation, their expectations, suggestions on how DF and partner NGOs can work together in a better way to reach the more and more small & marginal farmers in the sandbox region. A.2.8.4 Visit of Mr. Ravindranath Reddy: Sri Ravindranath Reddy, Program Officer (Agriculture) of Deshpande Foundation visited the project villages and interacted with farmers and field staffs on 23.7.2010. His second visit was 10.12.2010 to participate in the Field Day organized in the farm of Sri Shivaputrappa Sannadeni. He also visited the project villages and especially the tanks excavated during the year on 29.3.2011.

Did the actual project comply with the terms of grant? If the actual project activities differ from the proposed, please explain why Yes; all the planned activities of the project have been complied with the terms of the grant. None of the activities has differed from that of the agreed terms except small modifications requested in the youths plan. To this effect revised plan was submitted and approval is obtained from DF and implemented the revised plan. And the youth activities implemented and outputs achieved as per the revised plan. The incomplete task as on 31.3.2011 is external evaluation as the crops are yet to be harvested by the farmers. Impacts: This section of the report deals with the impacts of our intervention with 10 farmers and 10 entrepreneurs at the end of the 1st year of the project intervention. Why was this project important? This particular project intervention was essential in the tail end of Malaprabha irrigation project in the following context Inadequate irrigation water allows cultivating hardly 30-45% of land and salinity/alkalinity are other major issues at tail end. The educated youths are moving away from primary sector i.e. agriculture due to lack of ability to find entrepreneurial opportunities in farming. Many existing schemes of State/Central governments are not being used effectively to create productive irrigation assets by farmers due to lack of information. Chemical-heavy farming leading degraded soil, infertile land causing least productivity. Pest immunization caused by application of overdoses of pesticides over a period of time. Requirement of credit and inputs is very high in present system of cultivation practices which makes farming loss-making; also inputs are not reliable and costs double the actual price. Irrigation tank to address 2 extremes of water availability with sub-surface drainage, IIFS, chain completion approach, etc could be an answer, with this assumption this project was proposed for sandbox.

What impact did this project have?
B.2.1. Impacts on the lives and livelihoods of farmers through water harvesting: The project has brought both economic as well as social benefits from the tank during this period; a penny saved is a penny earned. The amount spent towards lifting the water from Bennehalla for irrigation is now saved by the farmer through the irrigation tank. The productivity has increased by more than 8-9% at the end of 1st year. Similarly, the youths have learnt the importance of group activity and how they can become first generation entrepreneurs. Since the project has commenced only in April 2010, it is yet not the time to measure impact of our Interventions; however, at the end of the 1st year of project intervention, we could see the following impacts A total of 10 farmers supported to excavate 10 irrigation tanks (4 are big size, 3 are medium size and the rest 3 are of small size) through the project funds and the 50% costs have been invested by the farmers. We imparted IIFS training to all the 10 farmers and as a result all the 10 farmers utilized the tank water very

effectively and efficiently. The details of crops grown and the output details are given in Annex-1. The irrigation tanks made it possible to address 2 extremes of water availability causing loss to standing crops and improved land use intensity to 150% from less than that in previous years. The productivity has increased to 150% from that of less than 100% in previous years.
B.2.2. Impacts on the lives and livelihoods of youths through entrepreneurship: About 9 youths from Hadali and Yaavagal village started agro-based Microenterprises like goat rearing, cow rearing & milk production and marketing, vermicompost production and marketing, vegetable production and marketing and vegetable seeds production and marketing. The major impacts of the interventions are Entrepreneurial skills developed among educated youths and about 9 of them started their self employment ventures along the agriculture value chain to make it profit-making. Project succeeded to create 9 first generation entrepreneurs in the villages i.e. job-creators and not job-seekers.

Issues for Give2Asia Attention: Any social project would always have some issues of concern and the project of this nature which has direct impacts on the livelihoods of the communities will have many such issues. Some of these issues have been listed belowPlease explain any challenges or difficulties that were experienced in carrying out the original plan and any adjustments that were made The major challenges / difficulties faced during the year are listed below; however, despite all these difficulties we did not change the original plan but completed all the tasks but some of the activities were delayed by some time. Introduction of a new concept in a new area itself is a challenging task; gaining the confidence of the farmers of this area for Janakalyan team is a major challenge that we have achieved during the year. Commencement of project in the end of April was a challenge for the team; the project commenced effectively in May and monsoon commenced in June before we could finalize the list of beneficiaries for farm pond excavation. Excavation of irrigation tanks became difficult due to onset of monsoon. The blind belief among the farmers of this region about the irrigation tank is very strong; the farmers believe that lot of problems can happen to the families if the excavated farm pond is closed for any reason. Therefore they hesitate to go ahead with excavation of farm pond. Onset of early monsoon is another reason why we could not complete the excavation of farm ponds in time; however, we did not have enough time to complete all these activities since the project has commenced only in May 2010,

though we were expecting it long back. A project of this nature should start with CROP YEAR so that we get enough time for preparatory works. There are series of activities to be completed before starting excavation (please refer our activity list and/or budget items) of farm ponds with the farmers, which have been completed by the team in this short span of first 2 months Staff capacity building training towards farm pond concept Printing awareness materials on the concept of the project and need of the hour; also door to door contact to orient about the project concept Village level promotional campaign with potential farmers to finalize the list of farmers for the excavation of farm ponds Learning cum exposure trip for the participating farmers Household survey to set up a benchmark (baseline) in the beginning of the project Only after completing all these activities, one can start excavation of farm ponds and thus we have completed 1 farm pond, which we feel as our achievement.
Ron & Naragund (Gadag District) is a new area where Janakalyan has initiated a livelihood based new intervention and one would agree that 1 quarter is too short period to build a new team, introduce a new project concept to the farmers, convince them for putting (0.5-1.0 acre) land for excavation of farm ponds. We need to demonstrate them that this piece of land would bring more income after excavation of farm ponds, which it otherwise brings now. Some of the farmers did not agree to excavate tank with tractors but with JCB/ Hitachi; the bunds of the tank excavated with JCB/Hitachi cannot stop seepage is a fact but was difficult to convince the farmers. The farmers of this region have their own reservations against agricultural practices and receive the advice only if they satisfy themselves about all doubts; therefore, it was difficult for the team to introduce new concepts in the area. Due to onset of monsoon, some of the farmers had completed sowing and thus requested to excavate the farm pond after harvest of the standing crops which also delayed the excavation of tanks and thus demonstration of tank use. July-December is totally not a right time to excavate new irrigation tanks, because farmers remain busy in agriculture operation in their farms. Farmers face difficulty in arranging their cost-share as they already invested in farm activities during July-December. Farmers would not wish to loose their standings crops once they complete sowing in the land where they actually want to excavate farm pond and distribute the excavated soil. Therefore, one must start excavation in April-June months. Difficult to operate soil-removing machines due to intermittent and continuous rains during monsoon period. Some of the needy farmers find it difficult to contribute 50%; farmers, though interested, get excluded from the benefits they really deserve. Farmers could not participate in plantation activities, vermicompost, since all the farmers were busy in harvesting their onion crops after excavation of the tank. Farmers were very busy in their farm activities and thus could not participate actively in the Field Day and the Farmers Day celebration program which were organized during December month. Even then, we could successfully ensure participation of about 300 farmers for field day and about 50 farmers in the farmers day celebration at DF campus, Hubli.

Similarly, with an investment of Rs.5.16 lakhs, the farmers have received an amount of Rs.13.70 lakhs i.e. a net profit of Rs.9.81 lakhs during the year. This means, an investment of one rupee has fetched them about 4 rupees during the year.
